xmatter

the code is correct for after the form is submitted, a message pops up rather than redirecting to another page. I will try changing the permalinks, but that will only be temporary. I am currently using /%category%/%postname%/

i do not have a single.php file but will look into creating one. For now, i have created a page template commenting out the desired info and it all works as wanted. I truly appreciate your help!

i get it. so i should create a page template reflecting the commented out h2 post and that will fix my issue.

Thanks for your help and i will fix what i have done. But i commented out the blog title (on index) because i do not want the page title’s to show on every single page. I only want the blog post title to appear on the blog page for all posts. So… i created a replica of the index and uncommented the h2 post and name it (blog.php) and that is used as the page template for the blog page. It there a way to do this with out having to do what i explained?

it has been commented out on the index.php but i am using a page template (blog.php) where it is identical except the h2 post is not commented out.

sounds good, but what if i only have all the install files and the .sql file? I do not have a xml unless it is within the install files. My entire old blog is within a ZIP it what i am getting at. Can i use anything from within there? or must i install xampp on my pc to create a local server and import all data and content, and then do an export?

thank you for the response. I had to go into the plugins directory cut the folder, then it allowed me to sign in, then pasted the folder back in, then deactivate and deleted. always good to know that in this forum you will receive a response. thanks again!

I appreciate your well thought out response, and will take full use of it. The question is… even if the intranet (server) is behind our firewall and there is a chat client operating on the outside, is security still at risk? Even the weather widgets go to the outside to get the current weather and post it within the firewall.

i got it. I didn’t think it was as simple as changing the site url from within the settings. I always change that when using wordpress for website customers. Thanks Again!

i will get it a shot now, and i thank you for all your help Chris. pure genius!

so where exactly during the WP install do i change the directory so it is accessible by all employees? The “database host” box? do i enter “\\serverName\xampp\htdocs”?

but the xampp database can be through a localhost correct?

perfect, that does make sense! thanks

i have set #menu li.current_page_item a {background:none} and it worked
